A Gospel opportunity..

I had an opportunity last week to travel with the youth group from our church to a youth event in Fredericton hosted by Devon Park Baptist Church. Micah Hiltz, the youth pastor at Devon Park, hosted the event and asked if I would come out and share the gospel with the teens. We had a large group from our church in Cumberland Bay, taking 23 teens to the Amped event was a wonderful opportunity for our youth leaders and pastor.

To be honest it made me pretty nervous to consider it. I've become accustomed to speaking to groups of people over the past several years; but the opportunity to share the gospel with a group of teens, many of whom would likely not know the Lord as their personal Savior, impressed a heavy burden on me. The burden to handle well the gospel, and present it in a clear and comprehensive way. A lot of prayer went into the evening, and I was humbled and pleased to be able to speak to the teens.

AMPED Camp Night

Last Saturday night, Kevin and I were invited to Devon Park Baptist Church in Fredericton for their monthly youth rally. The theme of the night was Summer Camp Ministry, and we were pleased to share about the ministry at Arrowhead with potential campers and staff. We shared the evening with five other Bible camps and very much enjoyed reconnecting with some other Bible camp directors from the area.

This coming Friday, Kevin and I are on the road again. This time we're heading to Halifax for Missions Fest. "Jesus to the Nations" is the Atlantic Canadian Missions Conference and we have been asked to represent NCEM at this year's conference. Kevin and I will be there with Phil & Gracie Welch from Friday until Sunday afternoon. If you're in the area drop in and say hi.
